I grabbed it for Martin Black (who knows this story). I left the lame FB comments intact. Rick likes the older UFO reports.

Is the Tombaugh story true or apocryphal? Lincoln LaPaz apparently had a similar one to tell. The later "green fireball" phenomena, and these astronomers' association or non-association with it, is also a muddied bit of UFO history.

Thanks very much for posting. A favorite case of mine.
To answer Ron: they're not apocryphal. Clark's UFO Encyclopedia cites and discusses the documentary evidence of Tombaugh's sightings and LaPaz's involvement in investigating the green fireball phenomenon. Apart from that LaPaz had a sighting of a classic UFO that's documented in BB.
